Cathedral of Barcelona (La Seu)
In the center of Barri Gotic, Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, is one of the most outstanding examples of medieval architecture in Europe, the Cathedral of Barcelona: La Seu. Officially known as Cathedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulalia
Temple de la Sagrada Familia, Barcelona
Antonio Gaudi is Barcelona's patron architect. Much of the city bears his stamp. Nowhere is this more evident than in his unfinished masterpiece, The Temple of the Holy Family. Work began in 1883 but halted after the architect's untimely death from a tram accident in 1926
Barcelona, City of Catalonia
Barcelona is an ancient city, born of the Roman Empire. But like many great cities around the world, it flowered in the late Middle Ages and blossomed in the mid-19th century. Yet there are many exciting elements of the modern period there, as well. These periods are all evident in this northeastern Spanish city on the Mediterranean Sea coast.
The Alhambra
No example of a Moorish palace is more magnificent than the Alhambra citadel in Granada. The series of palaces and gardens, including the famed Generalife at the base outside, is justifiably among Spain's most often visited sites.
Underground City, Montreal
Underground City has brought into reality a popular science fiction scenario. This network of tunnels under the streets of Montreal houses one of the most unusual shopping areas in the world.
Notre Dame Basilica
French for Our Lady, this Catholic cathedral of Montreal called Notre Dame richly deserves the same name as its more famous Parisian cousin.
Nature Centers
Montreal also offers centers for those interste in plants, animals, rocks... in short, those interested in nature. Visit the Botanical Garden, the Insectarium or the Biodome, which are places kids usually love.
Museums
Montreal has a selection of interesting museums to visit. From fine arts and architecture to science, there is something for everyone.
Mont Royal
Designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, builder of Central Park in New York, the parks atop Mont Royal provide one of Montreal's finest attractions. From there the view of the St. Lawrence River along its edge, as well as that of the city itself, is breathtaking.
Old Montreal
The Old Montreal is a European postcard made real in North America. Along the cobblestoned streets crossing Place Jacques Cartier it's easily possible to imagine oneself in Paris.
